Pink Floyd Drummer Nick Mason Crashes Mclaren F1 Gtr Worth Millions


Mason was (and probably remains, despite the annoyance of having to pay an untold sum to repair an ultra-valuable automobile) a rarity among classic car collectors for his willingness and eagerness to drive the pieces of his collection, even in circumstances that may be categorized as risky. He’s often been seen driving cars from the collection, which includes multiple Porsches, Bugattis, and Aston Martins, as well as a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO – a similar car to the latter was reportedly recently sold for more than $50 million. As for the car itself, it was one of only 28 F1 GTRs developed and built back in the mid-90s for just the kind of racing that Mason was using it for, so it’s hard to fault him too much for crashing it. It was based on what was the fastest car in the world at that time and has a top speed of more than 240 miles per hour. Mason and all the other drivers were unhurt in the crash, and as this video taken at the event shows, it very nearly wasn’t even the worst crash to happen there:
